Cleaning the Parts
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.
Warning
•
Do not use sprays that contain flammable gas to remove dirt and dust from the projector's lens, air filter, and
so on. The projector may catch fire due to the high internal temperature of the lamp.
•
Do not use the projector in locations where flammable or explosive gases such as those used in air dusters
or insecticides may be present in the atmosphere.
The lamp inside the projector is hot.
Combustible components contained in air dusters, insecticides, deodorants, and so on could be sucked into
the projector and ignite causing fire and burns to occur. If flammable sprays have been used around the
projector, be sure to ventilate the area thoroughly before turning on the projector.
Cleaning the air filter
Clean the air filter if dust has accumulated on the air filter or when the following message is displayed.
"The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air
filter."
Attention
•
If dust collects on the air filter, it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead
to problems with operation and shorten the optical engine's service life. It is recommended that you clean
the air filter at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in a
particularly dusty environment.
•
Do not rinse the air filter in water. Do not use detergents or solvents.
•
Do not use an air duster. Combustible material may remain, and dust may enter the precision parts.
